1. Screen flickers when I move an item

   When I want to move something , for example a text frame, my screen flickers. This is very annoying and i'm afraid if i move items too much, Indesign will crash. What can I do to fix this?

2. InDesign: Insert authors document's metadata without quotes

   Version
   Adobe InDesign up to 2023.

   Steps to reproduce the issues
   Setting the active document’s metadataPreferences.author with multiple authors, separated by comma or semicolon in a string via extendscript:
   
app.activeDocument.metadataPreferences.author = "Elric Wade; Anne Emu; Sophie Kumpir";


   Expected result
   The authors should be placed into the "Author" metadata field, separated by comma or semicolon.

   Actual result
   The authors are placed into the "Author" metadata field, but all set within double quotes, so they appear to be one author, not multiple authors.

   Test file, screenshot, video or GIF capturing the issue (optional)
   See attached screenshot.

   Please make it possible to add multiple authors (e.g. with not quoting comma or semicolon separated strings, or by letting pass-in an array with names).

3. Hyperlink url gets cut off

   When creating a hyperlink by selecting text, the hyperlink gets cut off if the selection exceeds a certain number of characters – and the link ends up invalid.

   Easy to reproduce, see attached video.

6. Font menu doesn't jump to the selected font in the list when font menu preview is enabled

   Pre-Indesign 18.0 when accessing the font menu it jumps to the position in the list of the current font.

   The same action in indesign 18.0 - the current font is selected in the Recent Fonts section as the top of the list. This is quite annoying.

   If Front Preview is disabled in preferences, the pre-18.0 behaviour is the result, but of course there is then no preview.

   EDIT: I set Type preferences - Number of recent font to display = 0 which has resolved my issue.

7. Incorrect cursor movement when selecting text

   There is an annoying bug when selecting the text: extending the selection is working incorrectly.
   To reproduce:
   1. Select a word with the mouse. Make sure the word is in the middle of the text. Select the characters from left to right
   2. Now Shift+Left Arrow modifies the BEGINNING of the text, instead of the END.
   Why is this a bug?
   Open any other text editing software and see the difference: when selecting text with the mouse, the cursor is placed where the mouse button is released. If selecting from left to right, then pressing Shift+Arrow keys, will shrink/grow the selection AT THE END. Indesign is not following this rule, Shift+Arrows grow/shrink the BEGINNING of the text, despite, the mouse button was released at the end.

   In indesign, selecting text often selects the whitespace after. Then the user tries to deselect the trailing whitespace by hitting Shift+Left arrow - bang, the leading white space is also selected!

8. File preview bug

   I've upgraded from InDesign v2022 to v2023 (18.0). When I'm saving files after converting them, the preview image disappears where it was saved with the previous version.

9. InDesign 2023 crashes when opening older InDesign files

   Can't open older version files in InDesign 2023. Using Microsoft Office 2016 64-Bit Edition (yes, I know we're really behind in our operating system). It looks like it's going to open the file, and then it crashes InDesign. Have tried restarting, re-installing InDesign and no go. Have even tried saving the old file as an IDML mark-up file and it still won't open.

10. Moving to the next page lag and sometimes doesn't even happen

    When I scroll to the next page the display doesn't change, it stays as the page I was originally on. Sometimes I have to close the document and reopen to access the page I want.

12. Opening a menu item such as preferences sets of the "error" sound in windows until the item is closed

    When I open a menu item such as Print or Preferences or Export, windows begins making the "error" sound as if you clicked in an inappropriate spot. The sound continues until I close whatever menu item I opened. This only started with the update to InDesign 2023.

14. InDesign 2023 crashing when using links panel

    Though it rights itself occasionally, this happens only when I use the links panel. I am having to cmd-D to import, but that is adding lots of time I don't have.

    Restarts of both InDesign and my latest model MacBook Pro are not fixing this.

    What can I do?

15. optical margin alignment

    Optical Margin Alignment does not work in a tabbed hanging indent, but it should. In the examples provided I want the copy quotes to be offset by the optical margin alignment, but they are counted as a character and disrupt the look of the hanging indent (example 01). If I move the hanging indent to the right side of the quotes it fixes the problem for the current paragraph, but the next paragraph aligns with the tab and quote, not with the above hanging paragraph (example 02).

16. InDesign '23 interface is not dual-monitor friendly! I am running macOS Monterey 12.4 on a MacBook M1 Pro.

    Please update Adobe InDesign to be a more self-contained, movable workspace instead of anchoring the app to a single monitor (namely, my small laptop monitor). I am able to move tool windows and a file window over to my larger screen, but everything opens back on my laptop screen and I have to adjust all over again, unlike with Illustrator or Photoshop. It also maintains a dark gray 'background' over my laptop screen so it's VERY difficult to multitask. I noticed that this became an issue with a recent update PRIOR to the release of InDesign 2023. I am running macOS Monterey 12.4 on a MacBook M1 Pro. Thank you! :)

17. Why does ID now need new filetype with every yearly release?

    I don't remember ID needing a new filetype with every release in the past. A (perhaps cynical) part of me says new filetypes are designed to incentivize users to upgrade. This drive for new filetypes every year seems especially capricious when fundamental new ID features are few and far between over the past 5+ years. (Ex: one of the top billed features last year was renaming Master pages to Parent pages...)

    New filetypes with every release is a source of friction to my team, especially when several users work on a project and one or more suddenly find they can no longer open the .indd project. I'm sure there are reasons for new filetypes every now and then, I just wonder if they're needed every year.

18. .idlk files not recognized/ignored when .indd files are in a Dropbox directory

    InDesign 2023 v18.00
    .idlk files are not recognized when working from a shared Dropbox folder. This issue appears to be very extensive and well documented. While I understand the many different use cases (synced/not synced, not connected to the internet, etc..) It would just make sense for InDesign to check for .idlk files within Dropbox directories and let Dropbox/Users figure out the potenetial for syncing errors and find a solution when those issues arise.

    This causes very frustrating issues for collaborative teams.
